4.7cm mildly complex ovarian cyst in postmenopausal woman mild discomfort.going to see gyn/onc for a consult. how high are the chances it's bad?worry

Medium concern: Ovarian cysts in postmenopausal women are not uncommon. If any cyst (regardless of age) has complex features, then it requires further evaluation. The followup depends on the level of complexity and will vary from a followup scan in a couple of months or going ahead with surgery to remove the cyst.

Need futher evaluati: Large cysts, especially complex cysts in postmenopausal women are always of some concern and need to be evaluated further. Suggest you followup with your doctor.
